About this app

Rewards for Not Driving Alone.

GoCarma verifies eligible commute activity automatically and helps you qualify for local transportation programs.

Carpool. Transit. Telework. Walk. Bike.

Trips are detected and verified in the background — no hardware required. Once confirmed, eligible trips appear clearly in the app.

How it works:

• Sign up and allow some app permissions
• Commute as you normally do
• Eligible trips are verified automatically
• Review confirmed trips in the app

GoCarma powers programs designed to reduce congestion and reward smarter commuting.

Dallas–Fort Worth, TX:
More than 3.5 million HOV discounts have been verified across North Texas. Over 100,000 commuters use GoCarma to qualify for 50% HOV toll discounts on TEXpress Lanes during peak periods.

San Bernardino County, CA:
Supporting SBCTA’s commuter VMT mitigation program. Eligible commuters earn incentives when they avoid driving alone.

Location With Purpose:
GoCarma uses location only to verify eligible trips. Permissions can be managed anytime in the in-app Privacy Center.

Eligibility and benefits vary by region.

This is an awful app. Everyone who rides with you has to get it to get the HOV discount. This requires a separate email, separate phone, they have to put in all of the vehicle information. It is complicated to download and set -up. It's glitchy when different people who ride with you try to put in the same vehicle information as you do. They don't explain how to put in the toll tag information. I HATE THIS APP! I think I would prefer to sit in traffic as opposed to deal with this thing.

Sorry to hear you've had trouble getting set up. There must be at least 2 people in the car to qualify for the HOV discount. Tens of thousands of people use GoCarma each day to get the discount, so please tap Contact Us in the menu and I'm sure we can get you over those hurdles.

I'll add to the negative reviews ... when and if it works it's fine, but I have to go thru my transaction history EVERY time to verify the discount has been received then when its not you have to email them, wait for them to respond then blah blah blah what a hassle. I bet most users never check to see if the discount was ever received since it takes hours to days for transactions to post .. what a joke

Hi Scott. In some cases, it may take a toll operator a few hours to query GoCarma for your HOV status. GoCarma always immediately responds, and makes this available to you. I can see that you are consistently receiving the discount for your weekday peak period TEXpress Lane transactions. Please note that discounts are not available at other times.

Awful. Very complicated and cumbersome to set up and use. Setup is lengthy requiring toll tag, account, license numbers and other information. This app must be installed and set up for at least two people in the same vehicle to get the HOV discount. Traveling with children, the elderly, or passenger w/out the app = NO DISCOUNT. Rarely works when it is set up correctly. App requires location data & physical activity to always be enabled causing additional battery drain. Pop ups block buttons.

We have many families who use GoCarma to get the discount. If you carpool with someone who doesn't have a smartphone, you can request an Occupant Pass that can be carried on board instead. The app only uses your location in TEXpress Lanes during peak periods, so has minimal battery impact. Please send us a message in the app so we can help further.
